ABSTRACT

This one semester calculus course places emphasis on understanding key concepts, solutions of problems, highlights from an historical perspective, and current real-life applications. Technology is used as a visual and reference tool; animations are obtained from the Internet. A Mathematica lab illustrates Newton's Method with an example exhibiting chaotic behavior.
